NATURE'S LESSON IN SOIL BUILOING //a 777 a. t? /=Vo s/??r/ /y L 'i V&S foo A C\ to/=> Ro f-io ry L* eg u tt7& s Nature's order is: I, the noil; 2, the '? plant; 3, th animal; 4, man. If tills order be intorferred with In agricultural practice one or more of the four will suffer. The most important element of plant food is nitrogen. Nature has an ocean ! of this valuable material in the air , which is probably the original source,-' of all nitrogen and If not continually , returned to the soil by natural meth ods, will soon 'leave the soil almost entirely. Nature when permitted, grows thou sands of legumes, the only natural ! means of collecting and stowing it in ; the soil, and unless as great an acre- | ago be' grown annually of these soil J building plants as of the soil robbing i crops usually produced by farmers, j the soil becomes poor in nitrogen and refuses to produce profitable yields. To supply this element of plant food . by purchasing it. costs about one-half our fertilizer expense and makes our j crops too costly. i Velvet beans, soy beans and cow j pons in summer, and vetch and clover 1 ir winter may be made to supply all j ' of tlsis dement any fanner needs to ' grow i otton. corn, grain or any of the other soil robbing crops. Nature can ! not use her li.OUO legumes naturally for this purpose where land is planted to | cotton, corn. etc.. from year to year, j ! We must therefore help nature to help , i lis by planting t h?M*r ? r^very where pos- j [j si^le. This meana a rich, productive soil which is the first necessity in far ming. Rotation of Crops. No on'1 crop system has ever or will e\er support livestock and make a prosperous nation in a country similar to ours. The rotation must be so bal anced as to keep the soil well filled with humus and to supply individual and foreign needs; otherwise npply and demand w,ll 1< vy a ruinous pre altv that no nation can stand We must, therefore, as nearly as possible, produce all food'- and feeds needed in South Carolina and then) produce sufficient cotton to supply the | demand at a profit to the farmer, j \\ hose success is a fore runner of ;u!l cuc< e > s in a final analysis. -Our ? \ pond it tires' of $7r>.n(?0.0'?(i annually for foods and feed stuffs aloie*. together with about sr.o.ooo.nno for i-Mtntnerrial fertilizers (12 of which might be se cured through tlio legumesi is exceed' I ing $25.om),000 annually South Paro- j ? income ? frn ? rntmn. This Is-' ruinous and has helped to redu our farm owneship within a f<>\v de< ade's from 4f> per cent to .15 per cent of our farm population. Live Stock Industry. No country with poor soils and cost I : ly production has uver fully*~jrn)i c*>d**d ' THE LOGICAL ORDER with livestock. Those countries which havn made livestock a part of farm economy, have cither started with rich h< i Is or built their soils largely by a system of farming vith legumes In crop rotation in connection there with. Livestock maintained on this basis not only becomes a profitable Indus* try. hut becomes a soil conserving and soil building practice as well. When fed legumes, livestock becomes a soil building Industry. When fed non Icgumcs, they are soil conservers only. Livestock, therefore, must be based on soil building by natural methods as was ordained from the foundation of the world; for, live stoc k cannot bo expected to return to the soil more than 75 per cent of the fertility fed into them and if thtit be fed in the form of non legume pro ducts produced alone, it can clearly be seen that more fertility leaves than returns to the land each year. Human Prosperity. N'o agricultural country like ours has ever succeeded without a soil building, soli conserving system of farming as is attested by the history of nation after nation which have failed largely as a result of neglecting t i observe the order of practice here in given. Roman farmers were advised by Columellas. Varro and Cato, to sow and turn down vetch, clover and the lentils for the enrichment of their soils which had been rendered poor and unproductive by soil robbing through the production of the non leguminous crops, even where their lands were deeply plowed and thor oughly t i 1 1 ? ?? 1 as probably no other lands ever were before or since. This advice was unheeded until conditions In Rome became unbearable for want of support South Carolina's future must be based on soil building and economic production or the history of past fal len nations will be repeated. The South Carolina masses are! growiin- p(> >r< r and the rii h are at j least growing no richer, but must eventually lose their holdings if this conditio?! is continued to th<> point of accuteut ? < When we have changed to nature's order as herein presented, we shall save: On feeds and foods, an nually $75,000. noo On eointnt p jal fert ilizers . .
